Introducing Our New Interlibrary Loan Interface

April 16, 2026 by Haley Galloway

Starting April 17th, the library’s Interlibrary Loan service, ILLiad, will launch a refreshed website with a new, user-friendly interface designed to make requesting materials easier than ever.

The updated interface is built to meet Title II Digital Accessibility requirements, ensuring the service is accessible to all users. Along with the new look, you’ll find several helpful improvements:

  • Self-service loan renewals: renew your own loans directly through the portal, up to one time per item
  • Expanded request options: submit requests for a wider variety of materials
  • Article request DOI feature: enter a DOI to automatically populate your request form, or instantly download the article if it is publicly available
  • FAQs and ILL guidelines page: a dedicated resource to help you navigate the service with confidence

Please note that we may make minor tweaks after launch, though these should not affect your ability to place or view requests.

If you have any questions or run into any issues after April 17th, don’t hesitate to reach out to Interlibrary Loan Technician Elisia Lewis at elewis1@smcm.edu.
